We've spent the past year building Verso and watching how strategy teams actually adopt AI in their slide workflows. Here's our honest forecast.

Six months ago I started building KOECALL.ai with one goal: give elderly and isolated people a friendly voice to talk to, reachable with a simple phone call. No app, no screen, no setup for the elderly user. Just call a number and talk.
Here's how it works today for the elderly use case:
The elderly user always initiates the call we never call them (no spam, no anxiety)
Powered by GPT-4o Realtime API for natural, low-latency voice conversation
Available in Italy (Isabella), France (Denise), UK (Sonia), and USA (Jenny)
A caregiver registers via web and sets up the service the elderly person just needs to remember one phone number

Random Facts API is a lightweight Apify Actor that gives developers instant, structured access to 1,000+ verified facts covering science, history, nature, and technology.
Whether you're building a chatbot, quiz app, content automation pipeline, or a "Did You Know?" website widget stop hardcoding fact arrays. One API call and you're done.
